Here’s a sample README.md file content for your Hangman game written in Python. This file explains what the project is, how to run it, and how it works:
This is a simple command-line Hangman game implemented in Python. The player tries to guess a randomly selected word one letter at a time. The game ends when the player either guesses the word correctly or runs out of tries.
- Random word selection from a predefined list
- Input validation for guesses
- Display of current word progress
- Limited number of incorrect attempts
- Win/loss messages
- Make sure you have Python installed (version 3.x).
- Save the code in a file named
hangman.py. - Open a terminal or command prompt.
- Run the game with:
python hangman.py
- You have 6 tries to guess the word.
- Enter one letter at a time.
- Correct guesses reveal the letter in the word.
- Incorrect guesses reduce your remaining tries.
- The game ends when you guess all letters or run out of tries.
